Ever since the announcement Warner Bros. is working on Batman vs. Superman as their Man of Steel follow-up there have been rumors a-plenty about who’s going to play Batman; but what of the villain? With David S. Goyer’s screenplay in no way finalized we won’t know for sure who the big bad is, but the name everyone’s thinking? Lex Luthor.

Lexcorp was an easter egg splattered all over Man of Steel, basically cementing the bald, business savvy nemesis of Superman would appear sooner than later. And now there’s already a rumor floating around about who’ll play him: Bryan Cranston. All stemming from a supposed scoop scored by Latino Review‘s El Mayimbe, check out these teasing tweets,

Actor for Lex is so painfully obvious/on the nose, u wouldn’t believe me even if I told you. Hell, I don’t believe it myself. Take a guess?

See how it all connects so beautifully? Breaking Bad is about to enter its final season and perhaps Cranston isn’t quite tired of that bald look just yet. And yeah, this all only rumor, but how AMAZING would this be if it comes true?
